Dressed for Success lyrics
by Roxette
[Intro: Marie Fredriksson]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Marie Fredriksson]
Tried to make it little by little
Tried to make it bit by bit on my own
I quit the job, the grey believers
Another town where I get close to the bone
[Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle & Marie Fredriksson]
(Whatcha gonna tell your brother?)
Oh-oh-oh
(Whatcha gonna tell your father?)
I don't know
(Whatcha gonna tell your mother?)
Let me go
[Chorus: Marie Fredriksson]
I'm gonna get dressed for success
Shaping me up for the big time, baby
Get dressed for success
Shaping it up for your love
For your love, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Marie Fredriksson]
I'm not afraid, a trembling flower
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
Oh, oh-oh
And in the dark, things happen faster
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle & Marie Fredriksson]
(Whatcha gonna tell your brother?)
Oh-oh-oh
(Whatcha gonna tell your father?)
Ooh, I don't know
(Whatcha gonna tell your mother?)
Let me go
[Chorus: Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle]
I'm gonna get dressed for success
Shaping me up for the big time, baby
Get dressed for success
Shaping it up for your love
For your love, yeah
Look sharp!
[Interlude: Marie Fredriksson]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh)
[Pre-Chorus: Per Gessle & Marie Fredriksson]
(Whatcha gonna tell your brother?)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Whatcha gonna tell your father?)
I don't know
(Whatcha gonna tell your mother?)
Let me go
[Chorus: Marie Fredriksson]
Dressed for success
Mm, I'm gonna get dressed for success
I'm gonna get dressed (Dressed for success)
Hitting a spot for the big time, baby
Get dressed for success
Shaping it up for your love
[Outro: Marie Fredriksson]
For your love, yeah, yeah, yeah
For your love, yeah, yeah, yeah
For your love, yeah, yeah, yeah
For your love, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah)
